Prior to it, Members of the Tema regional office of the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU) have hit the streets to protest what they say is the high cost of living in the country.
This some pundits have attributed to government’s mismanagement of the economy.
But the Deputy Communications Minister thinks otherwise, insisting “it is their constitutional right to demonstrate.
“Gone were the days where government’s prevented people from demonstrating, and I’m very proud to be part of a government which allows people to exercise their fundamental human rights”.
According to him, the fact that there are incessant demonstrations across the country means there is a problem.
